"Members of this tight and energetic Florida based band have laid stakes all over the world and bring to the party international traditions, rhythms and instruments", TBT '07. ".....I have never seen so many people actually DANCING at this festival.....the reality and energy of your performance and the audience response blew me away!!" National Public Radio WMNF DJ Arth Mawr. The Hip Abduction is a culmination of world genres directed toward high energy live performances and tranquil lyricism. Singer/songwriter David New keeps the theme moving from his years spent traveling the Caribbean and South America. Depending on the venue, up to 8 members can be on stage during a Hip Abduction event, each following a world, rock, soul, and reggae theme.
